Richard Osman's House Of Games Guests This Week

Craig Doyle, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon and comedian Leo Reich test their general knowledge skills on this week's House of Games..

Leo Reich picked up an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nomination in 2022. In December his stand up show was broadcast on Sky. In Reich’s first special, Literally Who Cares?, this self-diagnosed ‘important young mind’ faces the swirling uncertainty of our collective future, asking the big questions, such as: “Is this helping?", “Am I hot?”, and "No offense guys, but literally what is going on?" Treading the line between hilarious stand-up and humourless performance art, Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?! blended songs, anecdotes, and anxious non-sequiturs in a valiant attempt to raise awareness about important social and political causes… or something. 

He was also nominated for a The Times Breakthrough Award at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards last year. 

Reich seems to be satirising the life of young people today, but he is determined not to take things too seriouskly. He denies any satirical intent with his act: “Not even a single fibre of my being thinks that what I’m doing is important on any level,” he told the Guardian.
